"How do I avoid self-sabotage?" Discover a way out of procrastination and into power

"Every single thing you feel when you are putting something off, trying to make something perfect, or numbing out is normal. There's nothing wrong with having those feelings. What's powerful is how you choose to respond." -- Mary Schiller

Discover What's Holding You Back

Hello, I'm Mary Schiller, and I'm thrilled to share this transformative recorded talk with you: part of a series called Mary's Principles that I delivered in 2022.

If you've ever found yourself procrastinating, striving for perfection, or numbing out to avoid feelings, you're not alone—and there's nothing wrong with you.

What You'll Learn

• Why "self-sabotage" is a misleading and judgmental term, and how to remove negativity from how we see ourselves.
• The three common behaviors that may be holding you back:
  • Procrastination: Putting things off until later, making tasks seem bigger and more daunting.
  • Perfectionism: Trying to live up to an invented standard that's never quite attainable.
  • Self-Soothing Behaviors: Numbing out with activities like binge-watching or overeating to avoid uncomfortable feelings.
• The Root Cause—Fear: Understand how fear of failure or disappointment influences these behaviors.
• A New Way Forward: Learn to sit with your feelings, appreciate their power, and redirect your energy toward expressing yourself and making a positive impact.

Why This Matters

Every moment you hold back, you're keeping a gift from the world that the world needs. It's time to stop letting fear rule you. Feel the power of your emotions without letting them hold you back.
